Toledo Full Day by high speed train from Madrid

Toledo, once the Imperial capital of Spain, was inscribed as a UNESCO's heritage site in 1986. This iconic town is one of the most popular and visited in Spain and one of my favourite to show to you as I'm love with this town since I was a child. Their streets have witnessed the succession of great events of our history, from being a Roman municipality, the capital of the Visigoth Kingdom, one of the seats of 'Al Andalus' Moorish period, a major cultural centre during the Medieval ages, where the existence of three major religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam was a major factor, and also the Imperial Capital during Charles I kingdom. Doubtless, a worldwide renown gem! During our tour I will tell you a bit of the history but also some entertaining legends and stories behind its walls; we will learn about its culture, handicrafts and most popular food; I will take you to my favourite corners; we will step back in time and compare how the city has arrived almost intact to our days.

- We will take the high speed train from Madrid railway station and travel to Toledo - Upon arrival to Toledo, we would take a taxi for a scenic drive following the course of river "Tajo", and will stop to see the panoramic view of the city. - We will start walking and exploring the old Jewish Quarter. I will be describing some other monuments, traditions, culture, explaining about handicrafts, food, etc. We'll visit some of the most important monuments: - Toledo's Primate Cathedral, the most important in Spain. - Old synagogue of "St Mary La Blanca" - St Tomé church to see El Greco's masterpiece: "The Burial of Lord Orgaz" - Monastery of St John of the Kings. - Mosque "Christ of the Light" - We will continue discovering Toledo's labyrinth streets and you will have some free time to have lunch and buying souvenirs before going back to Madrid by train. *I have selected some of the major landmarks, however, I'm flexible to include some other you may be interested.
